STOCKS OK UNSOLD PIG IRON.
Our statistics of stocks of unsold pig iron do not include pig
iron sold and not removed from the furnace bank, or pig iron
in second hands or in the hands of creditors, or pig iron manufactured
by rolling-mill owners for their own use. Nor do they
include the small stocks of foreign pig iron in bond.
The following table gives the quantity of unsold pig iron in
the hands of manufacturers or under their control in warrant
yards and elsewhere, and which was not intended for their own
consumption, at the close of each year since 1875.
